碩士 / 國立臺灣師範大學 / 海洋環境科技研究所 / 97 / Unique pigment compositions in various marine phytoplankton phyla provide us useful information to study the community structure of marine phytoplankton in the ocean. This study applied high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to analyze the pigment composition in the phytoplankton assemblages collected in the surface waters of the northern South China Sea and western Philippines Sea. The CHEMTAX calculation was based on the recycling calculation method suggested by Latasa (2007) in order to obtain more reliable pigment ratios.
This study found that Cyanobacteria (36+15%) and Prchlorococcus (30+12%) were dominant phytoplankton in the surface waters of the northern South China Sea; Prochlorococcus (51%) were the major
microalgae in the euphotic zone of the SEATS station; Prochlorococcus (35+17%) and diatom (23+3%) were the dominant species in the Dongsha Atoll; Prymnesiophytes (25+2%) and Prochlorococcus (23+4%) dominated in the north-west and south-west waters near the Green Island; and Prymnesiophytes (49+3%) were the major species in the western Philippines Sea. These results provide us the fundamental information about phytoplankton community structure in the regions, which would be useful to understand how phytoplankton community structure in the study sites are responded to environmental changes, such as global warming, ocean acidification, and anthropogenic pollution through riverine and aeolian inputs.
